Blue Jays vs. Royals prediction: Bet on hot Steven Matz

Blue Jays vs. Royals prediction: Bet on hot Steven Matz

New team, fresh start for Anthony DeSclafani (1-0, 0.82 ERA). All’s well for the former Red after two starts with the Giants, allowing one run over 11 innings. San Francisco is in Miami.

Injuries to Elieser Hernandez and Sixto Sanchez have forced manager Don Mattingly to insert Daniel Castano into the rotation. Castanza, ehh, Castano will be making his first appearance after going 1-2 as a rookie in 2020. Giants are 8-4 and can pad their record. 20 units on the Giants.

New team, fresh start for Steven Matz (2-0, 1.46 ERA). Former Met has been Amazin’ for Toronto. Or is it Buffalo? Or is it Dunedin?

Matz has limited opponents to two runs over 12¹/₃ innings after going 0-5 with the Mets last year. The Royals’ Mike Minor has been hit up for five runs in his 10 innings. Jays are still without offseason acquisition George Springer, but we will back them for 10 units.


Rain, rain, rain and I don’t mind. Mets and Phillies were postponed. Still down -725 pignatanos.
